Walked up with Ian with Gareth 20 minutes behind. First year that this has been held at the rugby club. I liked it. Clean and pleasant. They do need to provide FAR more seating though.

| Goacher's - Real Mild Ale (now use separate 3.4% entry) | 3.60 | | Excellent malt. |
| Iron Pier - Perry St Pale | 3.70 | | Simco and amarillo. Peppery. |

New venue works well. Charge for all sessions now (50% off for CAMRA except Friday evening). Plastic glasses due to the site being a rugby training pitch. Free bus to and from the city centre still.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Angels & Demons (now uses McCanns branding not its own) - Goldilocks is Dead | 5.30 | | This was superb - deliciously well hopped with a dry bitterness. |
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Über Brew | 3.80 | | |
| Range Ales - CQB (Close Quarter Battle) | 4.00 | | Fruity and lively. |
| Bosun's - Down The Hatch | 4.00 | | A good honest bitter. |
| Northdown - He-Bru | 4.80 | | Subtle dryness that came through after a few sups. |
| Iron Pier - Perry St Pale | 3.70 | | Dry, crisp ale. |
| Goldmark - American Hop Idol APA | 4.40 | | Nowhere near as hoppy as I expected. |
| Breakwater - Dover's Pale Ale (DPA) | 3.80 | | Rather insipid. |
